The photographs look wonderful - thanks very muchly for posting them up.

Also, I agree with all of the comments on how difficult it can be to take good photographs of things at times. I finished a long-running project yesterday, and it was a real pain to take good photos.

I wonder what the back looks like, that was one of the worst parts of revision 3.

Judging from looking at the front it will be much better, but we'll see.

Looking lush, nice one devs

 

[Mjlink]

I'm pretty stoked on it, flaws or no flaws, it's a shell to something much bigger and stronger.

 

[MarkoeZ]

OK so if these pictures are taken by the chinese company.
How does it have an LCD screen and Nubs?

Remember when we said looooong ago that we'll send them a PCB and stuff so they can make sure the Pandora will fit in the case?

I was just going to ask that myself. I consider myself an avid reader of these forums, but sometimes a golden nugget of information such as that is buried deep inside some ranting topic that I skip reading after the first page.

You can read some of the topics some of the time, but you can't read all the topics all the time.

Edit: Well, not me anyways. Else, I would have canceled my order a long time ago! :lol:

OMG, http://picasaweb.google.com.tr/mfk.pandora/MassProductionSample1?feat=directlink#5452505342532870530

look near the left hinge, the lcd plate is a lil bit shrinked.
just above the leds.

still the weird marking under the del key (is this a screw fatige?)
apart from those, the front panel looks gorgeous

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

I'm sorry, I don't see it. Zoomed in, even. Perhaps I'm not sure what you mean. I'm sure this will not appear so obvious in real-scale. I don't think it's worth the OMG.

That, I do see. I'm not the least bit concerned with it. Like Craigix once said, (or was it EvilDragon), even Nintendo DS's have some level of plastic flaws.

Definitely!

I just don't see what you're talking about with the LCD plate...

The "mark" under the del key looks like a camera artifact to me.

It was probably over tightened... it looks like there might be a crack leading from that point and off of the X button because of it.

Edit: also from 'p' to 'enter'

hmm, looking again, it might be just a shadow, but do you see like something is missing just above the leds?

[sarcasm]

it looks to me like the bezel is flexing around the screw. probably over tightened that screw or something.
